Ingredients
Instructions
- In an 8-inch square baking dish, combine all ingredients except pork chops.
- Brown the pork chops and trim off any excess fat.
- Place the pork chops on top of the stuffing in the baking dish.
- Bake at 350°F for 1 hour, turning the chops after 30 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider seasoning the pork chops with garlic powder or paprika before browning them. If you don't have soft bread crumbs, you can use crushed crackers or stale bread as a substitute. Adjust the herbs to your taste; thyme or rosemary can work well alongside sage. For a twist, add some diced jalapeños for a spicy kick.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pork chops and corn stuffing with a side of steamed green beans or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. This dish pairs beautifully with Macaroni And Cheese Specialty for a comforting dinner. For an extra touch, drizzle some gravy over the pork chops before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the pork chops and stuffing in a baking dish, cover with foil, and heat in a preheated oven at 350°F until warmed through, about 20-25 minutes. This method helps retain moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen corn instead of canned corn?
Yes, you can use frozen corn for this recipe. Just make sure to thaw and drain it before adding it to the stuffing mixture. Frozen corn will provide a slightly different texture but will still work well.
What can I use instead of bread crumbs?
If you don't have bread crumbs, you can substitute crushed crackers, cornmeal, or even cooked rice. Each alternative will provide a different texture and flavor, so choose one that complements your taste preferences.
Can I prepare this dish in advance?
Absolutely! You can assemble the stuffing and place the pork chops on top the night before. Cover and refrigerate it, then bake it the next day. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if taking it straight from the fridge.
